Pet Peeve - "Why do you have so many hostas? They all look alike." or "They're just another green plant." or "How stupid, to spend all that money on hostas." or "I'd love to have a start of that." How RUDE!!! and, yes - hostas that are planted directly under thick tree canopies that get no water or ...

Jamie, Thanx! for posting results of FL Auction. It would be good if the AHS Auction results were done in like manner. I really enjoy viewing it.

There was too much time to think about it before they shipped them. I don't know anyone who grows them around here. They are awesome plants...

Hostaaddict's Garden Bell I love visiting Jackie's Garden. A sense of serentiy penetrates every nook & cranny. We met via this forum & now are best friends.
